The Biden administration has signaled that it is in a hurry to negotiate with the government of Iran’s new president, Ebrahim Raisi, a mass murderer who is known as the Butcher of Tehran, in order to revive former US President Barack Obama’s catastrophic 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — which Iran never signed — and lift sanctions against the Iranian regime.
Just last month, Iran was exposed in an attempt to kidnap a dual US-Iranian citizen, Masih Alinejad, from her home in New York City.
A nonprofit organization in the US has sued the State Department, claiming the Biden administration is unlawfully withholding records of American diplomats who allegedly have been subjected to anal swab Covid tests by Beijing.
Judicial Watch, a conservative non-partisan educational foundation, filed the lawsuit on Friday.

Anti-Semitic mosque plans 30,000-square-foot-plus expansion project.
South Florida imam Fadi Yousef Kablawi (Qablawi) admits to hating a multitude of people, including many if not most of his fellow Muslims. He refers to them as kafirs, the Arabic term for unbelievers or enemies. Yet, his greatest wrath is directed towards Jews. He recently described them as “the lowest of the lowest.” The US government believes Kablawi is a member of ISIS and a danger to society. Others believe he has encouraged terrorist acts from his followers, one of which sits in prison for threatening to murder the heads of local colleges. Now, the mosque he heads is looking to expand in a big way. What will stop this growing menace in Miami?
Like the Soviet Union, the US is dying from despair
Thirty years ago this month, the Cold War ended with a failed coup in Moscow. As was remarked by many at the time, Marx’s dictum that history repeats itself as farce proved true for the Soviet Union, the state that had defined itself by his ideology.
The Biden administration has reached an agreement with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that allows for the completion of a controversial natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany.
The July 21 deal to complete the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would double shipments of Russian natural gas to Germany by transporting the gas under the Baltic Sea, has angered the leaders of many countries in Eastern and Western Europe; they argue that it will effectively give Moscow a stranglehold over European gas supplies and open the continent to Russian blackmail.

First it was Afghanistan that was abandoned to its fate. Now U.S. President Joe Biden is set to embark upon an equally risky undertaking by announcing the end of American combat operations in Iraq by the year’s end.
In between times, Biden has effectively undermined the security of eastern Europe — with potentially serious implications for NATO — by agreeing to a deal with Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, to complete the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Completion of the pipeline will end the Kremlin’s reliance on states in eastern and central Europe for transit rights to maintain energy supplies to the West, thereby providing Moscow an opportunity to intensify its meddling in their affairs.
